Republicans are definitely the Kopites of politics.

Democrats are obviously the Kopites of politics: the delusional sense of status; the unwavering, unearned air of moral superiority; the cringeworthy clinging to messiah figures; the reflexive retreat for the safety of the nostaligic past; the presumption of being universally adored (while actually being widely reviled); the instant sweeping of all errors and indiscretions under the rug...

Republicans, on the other hand, are the Millwall supporters of politics.

Ok now you HAVE to be trolling.

Democrats are obviously the Kopites of politics: the delusional sense of status;

Bunch of people voting for policies that only benefit the rich because "one day that'll be me dammit"

the unwavering, unearned air of moral superiority;

Abortion/gay rights debates/the religious right

the cringeworthy clinging to messiah figures;

Trump not losing his base's support in spite of all he evidence of his unfitness

the reflexive retreat for the safety of the nostaligic past;

Seriously? You've just described the entire raison d'être of the modern Republican party

the presumption of being universally adored (while actually being widely reviled);

Also: See the likes of Paul Ryan actually thinking there's a wide constituency for his policy platform, and Republicans actually trying to campaign on their tax plan.

the instant sweeping of all errors and indiscretions under the rug...

Again, see Trump.

If you're looking for a barometer of what sane people are up against when it comes to politics in America, search for Mike Lee on twitter now.
He's voicing his opposition to the green new deal now and it's quite something.

A slight step up from bringing in a handful of snow to prove global warming isn't a thing.

 

[Ruairi77]

It's genuinely hard to tell where his joking stops!
Is he still joking when he says the best way to fight climate change is to fall in love, get married in a church and have some kids.?
